- The project team explains how Chicago's third-tallest building being built over a two-level road on a lakefill site withstands external forces. Read more: www.enr.com/double-decker-road
Another architectural and engineering masterpiece from Chicago. Its not just tall, it has style, tradition, technology and quality.
i love how unique it is! It's beautiful!
i love the look of it, it adds a new element to Chicago’s already attractive skyline. it’s different and you’ll never have everybody in your favor when bringing something different
Honestly, it's great to see new additions to our skyline. We have a great mix of new innovation and old Chicago. Gotta love the spirit of our old Chicago architecture - some of the best hands down. Sears Tower (it will ALWAYS be Sears Tower to Chicagoans) is still a remarkable piece of construction all these decades later.
Beautiful tower we need more tower like that.
Idk y some people don't like it but I really love the design and colour of this tower.😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Chicago is so amazing!
Way cool building....brilliant design
AMAZING 💯
Stunning beautiful building 💙
Anyone know what ever happened to the Ice Cream swirl tower? Out of towner here but fascinated by such projects.
That would be the Chicago spiral. It got canceled due to the 2008 recession. BrightSun films have a good video on it
@@nukenation3214 Found it. Good info. Thanks!
You mean the giant drill bit?
That building would have been an eye sore and killed the look of the beautiful skyline. Personally glad it didn’t go up
Engineering the most beautiful profession
Chicago should invest in high speed rails. This would generate substantial revenue, create jobs and become a hub for North America. No other city could do this.
Chuy L High speed rail is something Chicago will never see. With all the constant violence and corruption. High speed rail....sadly will never be a reality.
The sad part is, that would require either substantial private investment or Chicago being able to stabilize their financial situation, neither of which I see happening anytime soon
@@jericarolinem2789 it's already in the talks actually rather it comes to flution is another thing. But they looking for high speed rail to Cleveland
@@jericarolinem2789 You sound like someone who doesn't live in Chicago, Chicago's crime is substantially overblown, you can walk just about anywhere in the daylight and most people will leave you alone, nighttime however is a different story (as with all cities), and btw, Chicago has the 8th most productive economy in the world, over 850 billion in gdp in 2019... so money isn't the problem either. Chicago's government is the issue, Chicago has been losing its "first to go big" mentality since the early 2000s... that being said, I definitely see Chicago running high speed rails in the near future.
@@bignerd0452 No economy was "crippled" in 2020, you must ignore the media, no major city is suffering "finicial" difficulty. Money is never an issue, it is always the "yes or no" of government leaders that stand in the way...
When the Elysian Hotel got built. I almost missed getting crushed by one of the plyons! It fell over! When the fella was drunk .I was even on da news
I built it
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you for this masterpiece
don’t listen to the dumb comments build this
Инкрэдибл
I must confess that I find this building very unattractive. I also dislike the Trump building.
I love the big three, the Sears Tower ( I refuse to call it by it’s current name), the John Hancock Tower and the Standard Oil Building. Yes, I know that those names are outdated as well but I prefer to remember them as they were when I visited the Windy City in 1979. Locals back then called them Sears, Big John and Big Stan.
Somehow, these new giants don’t seem to fit in.
I think they do, the towers in New York don't. Those tan buildings are so ugly! But Chicago is the most diverse skyline in the world!
@@sportsgames2713 What do you think of the brand new giant in Chicago?
these big blue bulidings arent pretty
Ew
Ew you
Boring
Boring you
Epic failure in modern construction
